Abstract

An architecture related to notifying user equipment of communication transportation functionality and/or facility shifts between a wired communication transportation framework and a wireless communication transportation framework. A method can comprise determining a decrease in a number of data packets flowing through a wireline network interface over a defined period of time, based on the number of data packets, determining that the wireline network interface is failing, generating a notification comprising a data record comprising a field representing a state associated with the failing wireline network interface, and sending the notification to a user equipment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitates performance of operations, comprising:
 determining a first wireline network interface is in an inoperable state; 
 based on the first wireline network interface being determined to be in the inoperable state, transmitting, to a user equipment, a notification comprising a field representing a state associated with the first wireline network interface to a user equipment; 
 determining that a proximate neighbor equipment that neighbors the device does not have an operable wireline connection to a network; 
 in response to determining the proximate neighbor equipment does not have the operable wireline connection to the network, receiving a data record representing universal plug and play data from core equipment; and 
 using the data record representing the universal plug and play data, facilitating establishment of a second wireline network interface from the network to the proximate neighbor equipment. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the determining the first wireline network interface is in the inoperable state includes:
 determining a decrease in data flow rate through the first wireline network interface.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 causing the user equipment to connect to the second wireline network interface based on the notification.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the notification configures the user equipment to establish communications with a wireless network via the second wireline network interface. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the field representing the state of the first wireline network interface is included in the data record. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the field representing the state of the first wireline network interface is represented as flag data, bit data, or a string of alphanumeric characters. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the notification includes authentication data including at least one of the following associated with the proximate neighboring equipment: a multi-party blockchain data, or a nonce string. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the determining the first wireline network interface is in the inoperable state is based on a probability generated by a machine learning model that the first wireline network interface is in the inoperable state. 
     
     
         9 . A method comprising:
 predicting, by a network equipment, that a first wireline network interface will fail;   transmitting, by the network equipment to a user device, a notification indicating the first wireline network interface is predicted to fail;   determining that a proximate neighbor equipment that neighbors the network equipment does not have an operable wireline connection to a network;   in response to determining the proximate neighbor equipment does not have the operable wireline connection to the network, receiving a data record representing universal plug and play data from core equipment; and   using the data record representing the universal plug and play data, facilitating establishment of a second wireline network interface from the network to the proximate neighbor equipment.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the predicting that the first wireline network interface will fail comprises predicting that the first wireline network interface will fail based on a multi-objective optimization analysis that ensures that first groups of first actions are implemented provided that second groups of second actions are not detrimentally affected. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the predicting that the first wireline network interface will fail comprises predicting that the first wireline network interface will fail based on a cost benefit analysis that weighs a cost of taking an action with respect to a benefit of taking the action, the method further comprising:
 performing the action in response to determining that the benefit associated with taking the action outweighs the cost associated with taking the action.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a field representing a state of the first wireline network interface is included in the data record. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the field representing the state of the first wireline network interface is represented as flag data, bit data, or a string of alphanumeric characters. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the notification includes authentication data including at least one of the following associated with the proximate neighbor equipment: a multi-party blockchain data, or a nonce string. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 causing the user device to connect to the second wireline network interface based on the notification, wherein the notification configures the user device to establish communications with a wireless network via the second wireline network interface.   
     
     
         16 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
 detecting a failure of a first wireline network interface;   transmitting, to a user equipment, a notification indicating the failure of the first wireline network interface that is determined to be failing;   determining that a proximate neighbor equipment does not have an operable wireline connection to a network;   in response to determining the proximate neighbor equipment does not have the operable wireline connection to the network, receiving a data record representing universal plug and play data from core equipment; and   using the data record representing the universal plug and play data, facilitating establishment of a second wireline network interface from the network to the proximate neighbor equipment.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 causing the user equipment to connect to the second wireline network interface based on the notification, wherein the notification configures the user equipment to establish communications with a wireless network via the second wireline network interface.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the detecting the failure of the first wireline network interface includes:
 determining a decrease in data flow rate through the first wireline network interface.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein a field representing a state of the first wireline network interface is included in the data record. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the notification includes authentication data including at least one of the following associated with the proximate neighbor equipment: a multi-party blockchain data, or a nonce string.
